Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from C.J. Hayden

I know that you went into business for yourself, or chose the line of work you're in, for a reason. You saw that it would get you something you wanted -- control over your time, a better working environment, more money, the possibility of passive income, using your talents, sharing your vision, changing the world -- whatever it was. And that choice you made was about actually doing the work: serving your clients, whoever they are.

But if you don't have clients, or don't have enough of them, you're not getting what you want -- you're not changing the world fast enough, doing enough of what you love, earning enough to feel secure, having more control over your life -- because you're spending too much time and money on marketing.

The purpose of my work is to help you get what you want in life by making your business more successful, and to do that with as little struggle as possible. That's what I want for you.
